Unattended Windows CD
An year ago I had formated my system and install a fresh copy of windows XP sp2 its very tedious task to reinstall XP then drivers and updates then general applications and then developers tools.I was thinking about a solution by which I don't need to sit down before system to monitor SETUP and Enter details such as KEY,computer name, time zone etc.So, I searched internet and find an ultimate resource to create Windows XP CD which contain all settings,key,driver and some application like office suit,Firefox,themes etc and some registry optimization.
Advantages of this Method:
1.You dont need to sit before during full system installation insert a disk and go where you want to go when you return your system is ready with windows XP and drivers with some small softwares.
2.Some of the Branded PC come with a recovery discby which you can't do a fresh XP installation you can create a bootable cd from this method.
Requirements: windows XP disc (i386 folder),nlite,dot net framework.
Method:There are two method of creating a Unattended CD
1.manual method.
2.nlite method
I'm going to describe Nlite method here:
Step1.Install dot net framework then nlite.
link to download Nlite is Nlite download page
link to download Dot Net Franework Dot net framework download
2.Copy Windows XP disc in your hard disc in a new folder.
3.Start nlite ;browse and locate the folder,nlite detect the service pack automatically.
4.Click on the buttons like that you want to do like Integrate drivers,unattended,create ISO image etc.
5.Click next and enter detailes that required.
6.At last Nlite prompt for location to save ISO image of your Unattended+slipstreamed driver integrated CD.
Note:before using CD check this Using Virtual PC .
